Find a place where you can be yourself for the day or night.
A place where your mind doesn’t over thinks constantly
about whether things are going wrong or right.

Find a place that gets your topsy-turvy love life.
A place that reminds you, you are beautiful the way you are,
you don't have to go under a knife.

Find a place that soothes down all your worries.
A place that doesn’t bother how much money you’ve left in your account and asks you why settle down now, no hurries.

Find a place that lets you live life innocently.
A place where you don’t have to worry about today's headlines or
last night’s secrets, to live life vivaciously.

Find a place that smells like freedom.
A place where you can laugh, yell, sing, dance and
doesn’t require anyone else’s opinion to validate your selfdom.

Find a place where you never limit yourself.
A place where you explore your abilities, create something beautiful and
let yourself grow, flow and truly find oneself.

Find a place where you feel secure.
A place where you don’t have to be scared of the ones that have done you wrong or have hurt you or made you feel impure.

Find a place where you can be at peace.
A place where you don’t have to be cautious of your own actions or
be bothered about others labeling you their constant conversation piece.

Find a place that makes you fight battles courageously.
A place where you finally embrace your flaws, earn your scars and
learn to live life impulsively.

Find a place that keeps prejudices away.
A place where no one curses you for your mistakes but helps you realize and learn from them in every way.

Find a place that brightens up your every day.
A place where you learn to channel the happiness, sorrow, anger and freedom and pain buried deep within you, the right way.

But most importantly,
find a place where you can love and be loved.

And when you finally find that place, hold on to it for ages to come.
Cherish each moment you spent there and call it Home.
"Blessed are those who have a roof over their head they can also call home."
To crack the husk of singledom,
I close known roads,
In case one leads away from you
And I stumble up it blind.

And if the tender seed of love
Lying in its casing
Fails to take,
Then I may break.

Softer dances of selfdom
Replace my solo march.
I swirl more gently,
With Grace the Caller.
A caller refers to the person who 'calls' instructions in many traditional dance forms

Magnet to a safety pin
leur force du destin the
narcissist and sociopath
mirror attracted images
silhouette shadow dyad
black heart stained soul
Prada prided principles
impress expressed ego's
big house walled estate
a dominion of Selfdom.
I am told that I’m simpatico
Affable and carefree
Easy to get along with
At the center of my Chi
I only want acceptance
A hug or warm embrace
The camaraderie of laughter
While standing face to face
Bonding us together
My senses opened wide
Completely unrevealing, still
Of my darker side
The yin and yang of selfdom
Both negative and fine
Aged, until it’s reached perfection
Like a semi dry red wine

Keep it safe ,as it's delicate,
handle carefully .
once broken
cant be refixed gracefully
once slipped from those tiny finger tips
gone forever .
To regain with all its charm just like
'a beautiful dream that's quite impossible'
Its between us,
its betweeen them,
its betweeen everyone.
Once broken,
liaison reverses to no normal.
Chances still exist,
but selfdom doesnt let

To pass a judgement
Remember you heard
Only one side of the argument
You presented the case
In such a way
You won it anyway

Haven't heard the other
Might tilt the balance forever
Most futile act
Hypocritical pedestal to react
Is coming to conclusions
Based on apprehensions and delusions
Character assasinating with prejudice
Wrong method to deliver justice

Right or Wrong
Not for us to decide
Aware of the act
Just don't react
Decision not to interact
Does not show tact

There is another side
Which caused the divide
Excersize the option
Being neutral and real

Fault finding critical path
Petty incurring your own wrath
Wreaks total lack of class
You'll never stand apart

Size of your heart
How charitable you are
Forgive in your thoughts
Will seem like a distant past

That you had a fallout
Ego reminding throughout
Rising above this selfdom
Realise there's nothing to be lost or won

Save yourself the bluster
From this thorn ridden cluster
Only motive is to deliver
Impeccable conduct and behaviour

Express yourself honestly
When you act
React and regret go together
All the learning down the wire

Basing your conduct
Mirroring the other
In trying to gather
The attitude of the other

Moment of knowing
Has no beginning or end
Accumulating without implementing
You have let down your master
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Laggard at going halfway
A step to be square with
Hostility obviating the course
In stew on a swing refusing to halt

Out with the old and
In with the new
Belligerence has done its miles
Time to discard it in favor of
Tying the laces towards reconciliation

Amour propre in a golden cage
Selfdom ruling its own kingdom
Clean as a hounds tooth
Besserwesser doesn't want to hear

Bugle sounds echoing
Hurt egos loaded their six
Faster at the draw doesn't matter
This goes on till you empty the calibre

Enemy without form
A wounded sense of pride
Cover up by operation on
Faceless warriors battle rages on

Only flaw in creation
Greatest nemesis created
Hubris in humans unexpected
Recall operations initiated

Nothing as certain as death and taxes
He made death certain
His way of recall
Made a warped one after all

— The End —
